Innovation & value-add

We strive to be innovative in delivering components for new vehicle models at both manufacturing stage and in the aftermarket, in order to better service our customers, improve our efficiencies and reduce our costs.

As 60% of all South African OEM output is exported, we are working to ensure that the components we produce will be compliant with the new carbon emission standards that are set to be introduced in the European Union in 2025.

We also focus constantly on innovations that facilitate noise reduction, minimise heat transfer and reduce vibration in vehicles. This will be increasingly more relevant as markets evolve toward hybrid and electric vehicles. During the year, we successfully supplied components to a hybrid model highlighting our ability to make the conversion from an internal combustion engine to NEVs.
